Death's Eye
As night fell, Zhou Tong and Ye Fan went directly to the high heavens and looked at the grand palace in the clouds from afar.
It was a very mysterious and ancient hall. Although it looked somewhat dilapidated, one could feel its peculiar power. Moreover, there were many meteorites surrounding it, which were all part of the protective barrier.
Zhou Tong opened his Martial Heavenly Eye and immediately saw the Dao Pattern of restrictions in front of him.
After a long while, Ye Fan saw Zhou Tong close his eyes and immediately asked, "Well, what did you figure out?"
"It's alright. Although those restrictions are very strong, I was prepared to break them long ago. All the materials have been successfully refined!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "I made thorough preparations in the Holy City beforehand."
"Then what are we waiting for!" Ye Fan was overjoyed, knowing that there was hope of saving Pang Bo.
"Your method of concealing your aura is too poor; it will definitely alert some Demon Clan. I'll teach you a technique!" Zhou Tong transmitted his thoughts, casually passing on a secret technique for concealing one's aura from the "Luangu Scripture" to Ye Fan.
The Great Emperor Luangu was hunted down quite badly back then, and the fact that he was still alive and kicking after being chased for so long shows that he was very skilled at escaping and hiding.
Ye Fan was somewhat surprised. You even have such a secret technique?
However, he soon became immersed in this secret technique, quickly comprehending it, and his aura grew weaker and weaker.
"Although he's just a beginner, it's not bad that he can suppress his aura to this extent. Let's go!" Zhou Tong saw that Ye Fan had suppressed his aura to the level of an ordinary person, so he immediately led the way.
Soon, the two approached the Ageless Palace and saw the countless meteorites around them.
"Ye Fan, take out your Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron. Your cauldron will be the key to breaking the formation!" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and said, "The Profound Yellow Mother Qi itself is enough to suppress everything. This time, breaking the formation will rely on your cauldron."
"I understand!" Ye Fan's expression was very serious, and he immediately took out the Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tripod.
Zhou Tong waved his hand continuously, and piece after piece of material flew out from his palm, quickly embedding itself into the meteorite clusters surrounding the Ageless Palace.
Ye Fan was also curious about Zhou Tong's actions and kept asking him questions, but Zhou Tong had no interest in paying attention to him.
To be honest, Zhou Tong's current mastery of Array Patterns is not as good as that of the Big Black Dog. It's only because he possesses the "Nine Secrets: Zu," which can be considered the "general outline" of Array Patterns in the world, that he can rival the Big Black Dog and break through the great array here. Therefore, when he breaks the array, he must concentrate completely and cannot be distracted in the slightest.
After a long while, Zhou Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Put up your cauldron to cover the two of us. Now you can go in!"
"Zhou Tong, it seems that breaking the formation this time is even more difficult than when you were with the Jiang Family last time?" Ye Fan with some doubt.
Last time, breaking through the Jiang Family's Array Patterns was so simple and easy, but this time it actually requires preparing materials in advance?
"The arrays are different!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "The Dao Pattern of the Jiang Family are just temporarily placed on the ground, and the people who inscribed the Array Patterns are not very strong. But the Array Patterns of the Ageless Palace are definitely the work of a master who is proficient in this art."
"And most importantly, these things are not randomly placed on the ground, but rather form such a large array, borrowing the power of the sun, moon Star Scripture, so they are somewhat difficult to break... But it doesn't matter, I can break most arrays in the world as long as I study them for a period of time and give me enough materials."
The two talked as they walked.
They quickly traversed the meteorite forest and arrived at the Ageless Palace. Zhou Tong then set up an array behind him, sealing the place to prevent any further disturbances from alerting the Demon Clan here.
"To defeat that old demon, we'll definitely have to engage in a battle of divine senses, right?" Ye Fan with some concern. "Are the two of us a match for that old demon?"
"Don't worry, that old demon is doomed!" Zhou Tong said confidently. "However, there might be some danger inside the Ageless Palace. Stay close to me and don't wander off."
The two quickly entered the Ageless Palace.
Within the Ageless Palace lies a forbidden area— the Yellow Springs Mound. However, this Yellow Springs Mound has been sealed away by ancient sages, so as long as you don't disturb it, there will be no danger.
Zhou Tong and Ye Fan crossed six palaces in succession and finally arrived at a Small World within the Ageless Palace.
This is a Small World full of light and vitality.
The two quickly found Pang Bo in this Small World.
"Pang Bo!" Ye Fan was very excited and immediately ran over.
On an altar in the woods, Pang Bo's tall figure sat quietly cross-legged, covered with Luoye, as if he hadn't moved for quite some time.
"This Pang Bo, I haven't seen him for a while, and he's even stronger than me!" Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised. It seemed that the old demon had transformed him into something neither human nor demon during this time.
"Brush!"
Pang Bo was sitting cross-legged on the altar, seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, which were as sharp as two bolts of lightning.
"Not good!" Upon seeing that gaze, Ye Fan's heart sank. This person was definitely not Pang Bo.
"Make your move!" Zhou Tong flashed and appeared beside Pang Bo. He pointed his fingers like a sword and struck Pang Bo's forehead with a sword-finger strike.
It seemed as if endless sword intent erupted from Zhou Tong's eyes, and at the same time, wisps of nine-colored divine light burst forth from the center of his brow.
These rays of light condensed rapidly at Zhou Tong's fingertips, following the sword intent in his eyes.
"Clang!"
With a tremor, it seemed as if a divine weapon had struck Zhou Tong's sword finger heavily between Pang Bo's brows, unleashing an extremely terrifying metallic clang.
"Good heavens, you actually found such a helper! The Dragon Transformation Realm actually possesses a terrifying divine sense comparable to a half-step Great Power!" Pang Bo's eyes gleamed, but it was useless. "But useless, Demon Emperor Nine—"
"Useless! Luangu Sacred Art!"
Zhou Tong roared, interrupting the old demon's spellcasting. At the same time, a secret technique that had been brewing for a long time finally manifested. In that instant, everything around Zhou Tong and Pang Bo, past, present, and future, seemed to be in chaos.
This is an extremely terrifying holy art that disrupts the flow of time and space, cutting the space around Pang Bo into countless pieces, each of which is isolated in terms of time and space, making the place extremely chaotic.
"The Nine Secrets: Qian strips away the primordial spirit, eternally banishes Nothingness, Chaotic Ancient shackles!"
At the same time, the Nine Secrets: Qian" was revealed once again, and when used in conjunction with the Luangu Sacred Art, the old demon's primordial Divine Capital was instantly stripped away.
He wanted to resist, but it was all in vain, because his primordial spirit was in another space-time. Even though he possessed the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor, he couldn't find any target to slash.
"The Dao of the Great Emperor Luangu! You are the successor of the Great Emperor Luangu! And there are the Nine Secrets, specifically targeting the Nine Secrets: Qian Spirit!" The old demon's Primordial Spirit in another dimension exclaimed in surprise.
"The Great Emperor's secret technique consumes a great deal of divine power. I don't believe you can keep using such a secret technique!!" The old demon's primordial spirit spoke sarcastically in a space-time.
Zhou Tong did not answer, but simply stopped writing the Nine Secrets: Qian. Then, a dark light flashed between his eyebrows, as if a vertical eye had appeared from between his eyebrows.
"Nine Netherworld Ferocious Beast Treasure Art - Death's Eye!"
Suddenly, a blinding light shot out, and the vertical eye between Zhou Tong's eyebrows shone brightly. A beam of light flew out and struck the old demon's primordial spirit, piercing it through. Its power was immense, carrying an overwhelming aura of death.
